Whit Haydn is the creator of The Mongolian
Pop-Knot routine. In order to use this e-Book , you
will need to thoroughly know and use his Mongolian
Pop Knot Routine, because you will NOT learn it
here. This e-Book, published with Whit's permission,
takes you in another direction, for those who need or
want to perform the Pop Knot routine in a busking or
table hopping situation. To learn the original
routine, go HERE: Popsmagic.com

Comes with access to a video tutorial which helps
illustrate the various moves of the routine. This is the
basic sponge routine that is taught to all Wiz Kids when
they first join. Later, they are encouraged to add more
parts and change it to adapt to their own styles of
performance. The routine uses a Halloween Hand Bag so
that it can be performed sitting down, or without the use
of pockets or pouches. The bag is NOT a change bag, but
an ordinary bag that can be examined and used for
collecting tips, etc.

Mutus Nomen Dedit Cocis is the name of a
classic card plot in card magic and whose basic principle
was first described in 1769 by Gilles-Edme Guyot. My
Santa-Mental Do-It-Yourself version is a way
to get younger children interested in mental magic by
asking the question: How does Santa Claus know what
to bring each boy and girl on Christmas? The answer is,
he reads your mind so he knows what you are
thinking. Then I ask four children to each think of
a toy on the cards that I printed and cut out myself, and
see if I can read their minds like Santa Claus. Using a
variation of the Mutus Nomen Dedit Cocis
principle, I can reveal the toy they have chosen,
concluding with And thats how Santa knows
what you want for Christmas. Its also how he knows
if youve been naughty or nice, so lets all
try to be as nice as we can from now on. It also
knocks the socks off adults when you ask them to pretend
they are children and you read their minds, too.

You ask a child to lend you his or her hat so you can
show them a marvelous magic trick, however, before you
accept the hat from the child, say: Please take the
egg out of your hat before you give it to me. The trick
doesnt work if there is an egg in your hat.

The child will protest that there is no egg in the hat.
Take the hat and hold it out to another child.
Lets get a second opinion on that. Do you see
an egg in the hat?

The second child looks in and nods. He sees an egg in the
hat. And that is the beginning of a very funny routine
where you and other children can find eggs in the first
child's hat, but when he takes the hat and turns it
inside out, there is no egg to be found. At the end, he
finally finds a HUGE egg in his hat that is discovered to
be filled with candy or toys, etc., which can be shared
with the other helpers, and usually enough for everyone
in the audience.

The silk to egg trick is a modern classic, invented
by Colonel Stodare c.1860. Known as the Stodare Egg, it
was used by magicians in what came to be known as the
"Kling Klang" trick, where an egg in a drinking
glass and a handkerchief in the magician's hand are
transposed. The most popular use of the egg was invented
by British magician Fred Culpitt , about a century ago.
It's a sucker trick in which the magician
appears to teach the audience how to do a trick in which
a silk turns into an egg. But first you need
the special egg, and in this e-Book, Jolyon shows you how
to take a real egg from your refrigerator and turn it
into a gimmicked egg for the many tricks that require it.

How to turn any wooden, cardboard or non-magnetic
metalic box into an X-Box, in which things appear,
disappear, or transform as if by magic. Enough said.

The basic premise: Nine
cards are shown to be blank on both sides. Then, one by
one, clown faces appear on the blank cards. Then multiple
clowns begin appearing until the last card is filled with
a crowd of clowns. The spectators look up and you, too,
seem to be turning into a clown, red nose and all! Jim's
version is made to perform with Super Jumbo Cards
(8.5" x 11") and five children (or adult)
helpers who each have an "inner clown" hiding
inside.

Tommy Windsor invented his Pop Corn Dye Box in the
early 1940's. It has been remade and remarketed many
times, but totally unchanged, even though most people now
get their Pop Corn in tubs or buckets these days.
Professor Spellbinder was given a set of solid plastic
pop corn boxes this past Easter (3/27/16) with a
challenge to come up with a new invention. Darned if he
didn't do it! It works NOTHING like the old Windsor Dye
Box, or any other magic trick we know of, but it does the
same tricks as the Windsor Dye Box, plus many new ones.
For example, it can start by filling up with real
popcorn, and then do all those silk tricks, but with a
lot more silks and bigger silks. How about adding
liquids? You wouldn't dare with a cardboard box, but now
you'll be able to push in a red silk and pour out a glass
of red liquid!

You can buy the plastic boxes in any Dollar Tree
Store or on-line for about a buck, but you'll have to
make the magic parts yourself following the Professor's
step by step directions because this can't be found in
any magic shop... yet!

Today's
magicians only seem to know the version of this trick
known as "Strato-Sphere" by U.F. Grant (1962),
but there are many variations of this going back in time
to Professor Hoffman's 1918 "Bewildering
Blocks" published in "Latest Magic" and to
Donald Holmes' 1920 "Tea Chests of Wang Fu."
They are all described in this e-Book, with enough detail
for building any one of them, but most attention is given
to rebuilding the Tea Chests of Wang Fu from wood or
chipboard.

The main problem with the 1876 Reversible
Cannister (sometimes known as a Niffen Bottle)
is the same as with all switching props- too much
attention is paid to the prop for the wrong reasons. In
1876 you could apparently get away with stuffing a
handkerchief into a bottle, turning it into a liquid, and
get away with it just because you were playing the part
of a wizard or magic person, for whom such odd behaviors
were considered normal. Todays magician would be
under tougher scrutiny for doing such an odd thing
yet, I will show you a way to make it possible for those
who want to get away with it using a technique I call
"Whammys"!
